Hi,
I'm using ActiveResource as an API test rig for an API we're developing
for
our PHP app - the goal being to validate that we're following some
externally validated conventions for ReSTful API and that we can support
at
least one external framework. ;^) I'm open to opinions on the wisdom
of
this approach.
Meanwhile, I'm getting some strange behavior when running from command
line
vs. running w/in rails:
First, from command line:
require 'rubygems'
require 'activesupport'
require 'activeresource'
class Channel < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = "http://192.168.1.101/"
self.format = :json
end
c = Channel.find(:all , :params => {:owner => "iamwill"})
Result is:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/json/decoding.rb:14:in
`decode': Invalid JSON string (ActiveSupport::JSON::ParseError)
from
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-2.3.2/lib/active_resource/formats/json_format.rb:19:in
`decode'
from
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-2.3.2/lib/active_resource/connection.rb:116:in
`get'
from
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-2.3.2/lib/active_resource/base.rb:576:in
`find_every'
from
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activeresource-2.3.2/lib/active_resource/base.rb:519:in
`find'
from channels.rb:10
But when I run from rails, it parses no problem.
I gave the rails version malformed json to cause it to choke to figure
out
the difference:
vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/json/decoding.rb:14:in
`decode'
Is it possible to coerce the non-rails version to use the rails json
parser? Why are there two different versions?
Thanks,
m
